The ambiente was amazing, the people very nice, family dinners once or twice a week. Felt more like a home and less than a hostel. The guy owning it is super nice and can give a lot of tips where to go in the blue mountains

It was a bit of a pain in the ass paying before we left because there was some problems with technology and some people before me, so if possible pay via booking and not pay on arrival.

Ross was such a warm, easygoing host and the vibrant community at the hostel made it hard not to stay longer. It was a comfortable stay and chill vibes, lots of guitars and two sweet cats, engaging hallway conversations and quietness when needed. Very convenient location too and great value for money.

Checkin process wasn’t super clear but I arrived in the dark and had given them poor comms on my end and everyone was super helpful directing me to the right place.

Best hostel experience I've had so far! The staff are so kind and the place has a very warm and homely feel to it. Great lounge and backyard and people actually socializing. Kitchen has everything including oil, milk and a lot of seasoning! Breakfast is pretty basic but the bread was good. The town is really charming as well. Highly recommended! Would stay again.

The bed was a bit small, especially the height between the top bunk. Mattress is ok. Only 2 bathrooms, however I stayed for 3 nights and it was almost never an issue. There's an extra toilet outside. Sometimes they won't turn off the lounge music at night, but just ask someone and they'll do it

One of the best hostels I've ever stayed, such a cozy social place, guitars available, plenty of nice hang out areas outside. Ross is amazing, a lot of knowledge about the area, he even made some nice pasta for everyone in the evening. Very social, so easy to meet other travellers. Private room was very cosy.

Be prepared you can start liking this place a lot and will keep extending your stay.

What a wonderful place to stay. Without question the best hostel experience I have ever had. Ross is such a great host, and the other travellers there were so welcoming. The room was comfortable and clean and was a great place to stay before a big run from Katoomba to Jenolan Caves. I definitely feel like this is a home away from home and if I’m lucky enough to get into the 6 Foot Track next year I will be back.

I can’t fault the place.

Ross and his staff were really nice and handy with us. Ready to help and I would like to say special thanks to Ross and Ayla ! Thank you guys! You were doing great job!!!!

Suggest sending messages about what's up activities in the hostel. Some activities we lost because we were out bushwalking or visiting around . Suggest put it through social media, e-mail or sms! Thank you

One of the best hostels I’ve stayed at. It felt like a family. Everything is extremely cosy - there was a fire, cosy living room, firepit and barbecue, and board games. The rooms are not bad, pretty cosy! We had free mulled wine one night.

The downsides are annoying, but don’t diminish the great atmosphere of the hostel. There are very limited toilets (two with a shower and toilet inside, one shower outside and one toilet outside). always a big queue for the inside ones. The kitchen is also tiny, which wouldn’t be a problem except that only two of the hobs function. It’s near impossible to cook in peak times so make sure you meal prep.

The property has a very wholesome atmosphere and is a home away from home. Ross was super helpful giving the best advice on where to go for walks and hikes in the Blue Mountains. He even cooked everyone a ‘family’ meal on the first night we arrived which was great! He took us out to watch a sunset and was the best guide for the area.

Ross owner welcoming and knowledgeable on the area. Recommended a walk for afternoon of my arrival. Good kitchen and communal indoor and outdoor seated spaces. Numbers small so people chat. Board games, arts stuff, instruments, books all available to use. Clean and tidy.

Access to bathrooms (2 inside, 1outside) something of a challenge. Is it free? Or is it not

Really cosy communal atmosphere. Pasta night every Tuesday and a bargain Christmas dinner organised by staff and long stayers. Beds were comfy and the rooms remained cool.

Only 3 places to shower shared by pretty much everyone. If a shower breaks or needs resealing, expect long wait times on showers. If you're in dire need, take a trip to a waterfall...
